Cool Bonao

Hello,

Has anyone ever been to Bonao? If you traveled there from Santo Domingo, what form of transportation did you use? How safe did you feel? What are the people like? Please share any info that you think is important. I want to visit Bonao, but I don't think I should go by myself. Is there a local cemetary there? If so what is the name and location? I need to make a pilgrimage to a gravesight, but I don't have much information, so I'm not sure where to begin. I hope this posting fits the criteria. If not, I apologize. I'm a newbie to the DR and posting.

Thank you so much for your help.
